Epulo:

Dido was the queen of [[Carthage]] during [[Aeneas]]' visit. Her first husband died, therefore she fled the persecution of her brother. She purchased some land in North Africa and founded the ancient city of Carthage. As queen, she took in the Trojan chief when he was shipwrecked. Due to the machinations of the goddess [[Hera]], she became heavily infatuated with Aeneas. They had a brief romantic fling. When Aeneas left her to continue his travels, she became despondent and committed suicide.

Aeneas

Epulo:

'''Aeneas''' was a [[Troy|Trojan]], the son of [[Anchises]] and [[Aphrodite]], commander of the [[Dardanians]] during the [[Trojan War]], and eventually king of the Trojans after the death of most of the royal family after the war. In the [[Iliad]], he was wounded by Diomedes and saved from death from Achilles. Alongside his military prowess, he was known for being pious and dutiful.[Virgil]]'s [[Aeneid]] tells the story of how Aeneas led the surviving Trojans away after the war, eventually settling in modern-day [[Italy]], where their descendents became the [[Roman]]s. It also includes the story of Aeneas' love for [[Dido]], queen of [[Carthage]].
